NVIDIA Vera CPU: The Foundation for Agentic AI

NVIDIA presents Vera, a CPU designed for agentic AI workloads such as tool calls, code execution, sandboxes and reinforcement learning loops. The talk traces how cloud economics shaped CPU design toward high core counts at the expense of per-core speed, then explains how Vera's Olympus core, monolithic fabric and LPDDR5X memory deliver high single-threaded performance at scale. CoreWeave then shares its early results running Vera for sandboxes and agent workloads.

953: Beyond “Agent Washing”: AI Systems That Actually Deliver ROI— with Dell’s Global CTO John Roese

John Roese, Dell's Global CTO, discusses the "agent-washing" phenomenon and how Dell achieved a $10 billion revenue boost while cutting costs through disciplined AI adoption. He introduces the concept of the "knowledge layer" as a crucial new component in AI architecture and details his 2026 predictions. These include a focus on governance, a four-part technical definition for agentic AI systems, the need for modern resiliency in AI factories, and the maturation of sovereign AI strategies.
